Did Michael Savage just call for violence against Muslims in Britain?
He didn't come out and actually say it, but it sounded like he was kind of hinting towards it. I was listening to his show a little bit this evening, and he was saying how even "moderate" Muslims in Britain are funding the "jihad" movement. He then said something about Britain having to make a very difficult choice. Here's where it gets chilling - he said that nobody in Britain was prepared to do what "has to be done", except perhaps the soccer thugs - the people you see fighting during soccer matches.

Does anyone interpret that as endorsing violence against Muslims?

1. I don't know how else it could be interpreted.
Savage Weiner really is an evil bastard.

2. Why are you listening to that asshole?
Every thing that piece of trash says is either a ridiculous lie or a call to violence. The guy goes beyond free speech.

5. I hate that doublespeak bullshit.

I had a former friend tell me that moderates are supporting terrorism because the qur'an tells them to.

I had to ask him
A.) Has he ever read the Qu'ran
B.) Has he even read the Bible??

I'd rather people just come out and express their bigoted thoughts than try and hide them. He finally got pushed too far and wrote on his blog that Ann Coulter was a genius and that the world would probably be safer if we did bomb the muslims kill their leaders and convert them to christianity.

6. That's what you resort to when you are incapable of rational thought.
Bigots like Savage are so convinced that they are the moral compass of the planet that everyone else is somehow sub-human. That's the same kind of thinking that allowed Hitler to sleep at night. What an asshat.

11. I think pot bellied pigs are considered pets and thus protected by local statutes.
I would suggest you call your local police or SPCA office and ask 'em about the laws in your area.

12. Would you really want to slide down the garbage chute to his level.

We're better than that. If someone had the power to censor somone even as fucked up as Savage is, where does it stop. We just have to hope the number of drooling idiots that take him seriously remains small. Freedom of speech works both ways.

9. Savage is a walking aneurysm waiting to happen...
The man is bat-shit crazy.

I heard him tonight say that Al Gore is on the Apple Board of Directors, and the only
reason that he did the concert was to drum up support for the new Apple iPhone.

The man is a complete and total lunatic. I've listened to a great deal of right-wing
radio in my day. He's the outer fringe and definitely the angriest, most vitriolic
voice out there.

The biggest crime is that these people go unchecked. They spew half truths and false
arguments based on flawed suppositions--but they're skilled orators and debaters.

It's really a disease foisted upon our generation that is bamboozling so many people.

It's denigrating our country.

13. If he is inciting violence, then he needs to be removed from the public airways.
And inciting murderous violence ("what has to be done") against populations of people is supporting genocide.
